Nope.
It has to be those 4.
Couldn't be anything else.

Edit: oh, hang on, just thought. Could it be that it actually has no meaning whatsoever, just nature doing it's stuff over 5,000 years on a yew tree root? No? Ah, ok then.

Don’t think I’ve been to any of them.
And as for the Shard they’re not getting any of my cash. Went up there to the bar but one of our party was stopped for wearing trainers.
That was fine tbh, even though you could argue they weren’t, although annoying as they didn’t say that at the bottom before we went up. However when they started letting young, presumably more fashionable, people in wearing ****ty mucky trainers next that wasn’t fine.
After stepping in to block the entrance while I had a polite debate about the apparent poor use of their rules there ended up being quite the queue behind me. I wasn’t keen on stepping aside until the manager had explained the rules to me…so the queue got bigger and bigger. Manager came and apologised and let us in <laugh>

Had a look at the views and sat for a bit…then ****ed off and spent beer money in a proper pub. ****hole.

Ye, more likely the hotels that paid the most to Tripadvisor and the DM for marketing/advertising got on the list. The online Daily Mail is notorious for paid-for articles - hence why seemingly non-entities end up being 'randomly' pictured and written about in an article - used to be £15k for 24 hours, when my wife still worked in marketing.

It's just based on Trip Advisor ratings by customers, you can't pay them to get up the list.

You could pay for fake Trip Advisor reviews, but I'm pretty sure you'd be checked before they put you top of the list.

Though Trip Advisor rankings need to be taken with a pink of salt, the actual best places are rarely top of their reviews, cheaper places often rank much higher than expensive ones.
